==Been thinking==
Hi Joel. I've been thinking and thought of a quick and easy way to help achieve what you want to happen on your talk page. You need to create a link near the top of your page that links to http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Joel_M._Williams&action=edit&section=intro

For example:
{| align=center style="width:90%; background-color: #80FF80; border: solid 3px #40FF40; padding: 2px;"   
|-
|style="background-color:#40FF40;"|<center>'''<big><span>[http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Joel_M._Williams&action=edit&section=intro I prefer new messages go to the top of my talk page.<br>Please click here to add a message to my talk page, instead of clicking the + at the top.]</span></big>'''
|}

Clicking this link will let them edit just the top section, above the previous message. Then there is a comment at the top of the edit box telling them to add the new message below the archive box. --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 09:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks, Chris. I'll get on it later today. Maybe Matt will want to do his to, so there are two of us trying this out.[[User:Joel M. Williams|Joel M. Williams]] 15:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

: Added the box to the top and tested it. Works fine for me. We'll see how others do. [[User:Joel M. Williams|Joel M. Williams]] 20:49, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

==I've added an archive box for you==

Joel, 

I've added an archive box to your page so that you don't have to lose anything that has been posted to your talk apge. You can just cut and paste to a new archive page, or move the whole thing. Each method has it's advantages, but I'll leave that to you! If you need some help setting up your first one, just let me know. D. Matt Innis 01:25, 22 February 2011 (UTC
:Matt, see you added to the top of my talk! Thanks. Please add the archive box again. I retrieved my previous talk (I had deleted about half of it), but the archive box did not show up in the reconstruction.[[User:Joel M. Williams|Joel M. Williams]] 01:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== Greetings ==
Hello Joel.  I am also a Chemistry Editor.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 
Seeing your quotations, I think you will like the one atop my user page  [[User:David E. Volk|here]]. [[User:David E. Volk|David E. Volk]] 19:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

== Some ideas for contributions ==

Dear Joel,
welcome aboard CZ. Milt has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical suggestions on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see [[Template:Rpl/Doc]]):
{{rpr|Chemistry}}
{{rpr|Physics}}
{{rpr|Space Shuttle}}
{{rpr|Los Alamos National Laboratory}}
{{rpr|Los Alamos, New Mexico}}
{{rpr|New Mexico}}
{{rpr|Textile}}
{{rpr|Textile fiber}}
{{rpr|Meteorite}}
{{rpr|Star dust}}
{{rpr|Sigma Xi}}
{{rpr|Polymer}}
{{rpr|Polymerization}}
{{rpr|Cellular foam}}
{{rpr|Graphite}}

In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the [[:Category:Related Article Subpages|Related Article]] [[CZ:Subpages|subpages]] of such an article (or the [r]).

In case you are still somewhat involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via [[CZ:Eduzendium|Eduzendium articles]].

Looking forward to fruitful collaborative editing, --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 16:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

'''Welcome to Citizendium as a new author!'''  We're very glad you've joined us. We hope you will contribute [[CZ:Be Bold|boldly]] and well. Here are pointers for a [[CZ:Quick Start|quick start]].  You'll probably also want to know [[CZ:The Author Role|how to get started as an author]].  Just look at [[CZ:Getting Started|Getting Started]] for other helpful "startup" pages, and at [[CZ:Home]] for a complete listing of help and other community pages. If you wish, just ask me to create a "personal sandbox" for you  where you can test out [[CZ:How to edit an article|editing]] and writing articles.  If you need help to get going, it is a good idea to join our [http://forum.citizendium.org/ discussion forums]. That's where we discuss policy, proposals or technical problems.  You can ask any [[:Category:CZ Constables|constable]] for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page.  Again, welcome and thank you!  We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see you begin actively editing and contributing to Citizendium.
